The Cost of Illegal Aliens in the USA

Would pay for the wall, and then some.  And continue paying dividends in the future.

What is the cost of illegal immigration? According to the Center for Immigration Studies it is $338.3 billion.         The center breaks it down as follows: $22 billion on social services; $2.2 billion on food assistance; $2.5 billion on Medicaid, $29 billion on education ($12 billion on primary and secondary education for children here illegally who cannot speak English; $17 billion for children born here by illegal parents); $3 million per day to incarcerate illegal immigrants (30 percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal immigrants); $90 billion on illegal aliens for welfare. Lastly $200 billion in suppressed American wages. 
Add to this the cost of deportation at $46 billion annually.

Can anyone defending illegal aliens explain to me why the USA needs these people here?

The country sure doesn't need them. But certain persons in the legislature of a certain ideology want them. Until enforcement of oaths or affirmations, and the undue influence of corporate peddlers, this condition will continue. Enforcement by any means is acceptable.
